[clangd-dev] RFC: Semantic highlighting

[Jan Korous via clangd-dev]

Hi Nate,

This looks interesting! We're definitely interested in semantic highlighting in clangd so if you don't get back to it first we might pick up your patch.

In the meantime - if it helps I'm willing to review your patches. Do you think it might make sense to land this incrementally before the full feature is finished?

Thanks,

Jan
